   Amelia’s Trattoria should be removed from Open Table. It’s blatantly obvious they do not respect Open Table reservations. We had a reservation for 7:30pm and were met with shrugs and repeatedly told, “We don’t have any tables right now, wait 15 min.” As we waited, more people came in with reservations for 7:45, 8:00, 8:15 and they were all told the same thing. This was all happening as they continued to seat parties of 2 and told us. They sat so many parties of 2 that didn’t have reservations that all of us with reservations for parties of 4 were baffled that they could have respected some reservations by putting tables together at that point. By 8:30, we were on Open Table looking for other places to get a table for 4 and we were all bewildered that Ameilia’s had available reservations on Open Table for parties of 4 at 8:30, 8:45, 9:00 and so on for the same night. Take Amelia’s Tratoria off Open Table. It’s obvious they don’t even look at or respect Open Table reservations. It was quite sad because we live in the area and were hoping to bring friends to try highly rated local restaurants, but sadly we will not be trying to dine at Ameilia’s again.

   We had a great time at lunch and the panini was amazing. The pasta was good. Only thing to note is the menu on Opentable is not the same as the current menu (prices and options) at least for lunch.

   This is a very intense and rushed experience. The waiter was annoyed that we hadn't decided what to eat within a minute of sitting down. The courses were then rushed (some coming before we had finished the prior course), and again, the impatient waiter just giving us the eye. (I understand rushing the last course — the fish was wildly overcooked). This would feel natural if this were a lunch place on Wall Street. But as a place for a casual dinner, I'd give it a miss.

   This was by far one of the best restaurants we've been to in a long time! Such great Italian-Abruzzo-region inspired food, combined with outstanding, personalized service, and overall cozy atmosphere. We will most certainly be back.

   The food was excellent. I have a food allergy and they made sure I was accommodated. The veal saltimbocca was very good. My friend thought her seafood dish was the best she ever had.

    Great service, friendly neighborhood place. My linguine alla Vongole was a little bit salty, but my companions both loved their ravioli. Nice wine choices and felt comfortable. Parking could be dicey, but a garage nearby.

    We had a WONDERFUL meal at Amelia's Trattoria. Having just arrived from a trip to Tuscany the week before, we wanted to continue to savor authentic qualities of Italian food. Amelia's provided this and more -- creative combinations of delicate flavors with subtle surprises, all cooked to perfection. Very satisfying meal and intimate ambiance. We'll definitely eat there again!

    Went there for the first time before going to a musical production at MIT. The food was amazing! My husband and I loved this quaint and authentic Italian gem. We had the meatball appetizer which was plentiful and delicious, complemented by some very tasty bread. We opted for a Caesar salad and chicken parmesan, which were both yummy! Thanks so much for a wonderful dinner.

    Good first experience. We had made an indoor reservation, since this was early November and one never knows what the weather is going to be, but it turned out to be unseasonably mild, and the restaurant found room for us outside. Although we were at a table off to the side of the patio and had a minor concern about being forgotten, the servers did a good job of coming by at appropriate intervals. We shared a beet salad, which was very good; my wife's bolognese was excellent; and the chocolate terrine dessert was also excellent. My veal saltimbocca was not quite as memorable - the veal was fine, but it was a modest amount of veal that looked like a lot of food because the plate was loaded with mushrooms (mentioned on the menu) and other veggies like carrots and cauliflower (not mentioned). It was certainly OK, but the other items we had were better. We would try the restaurant again and would recommend it.

    We ate outside as inside is tiny and crowded, but does have a lot of good energy even if it is loud. Having said that, the food and service were superb! I only wish this place was in my neighborhood I’d be going every week. Best dining experience I’ve had in a while. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!

    I have been here for drinks, but not dinner. It started out quiet at first, but still pretty tight seating. Nice and cozy, which some may not like now. However, I found it really good. It did get crowded and then it was quite loud due to it being small. Food and drinks were very good, loved it, but it is small and packed.

    1st of all, the people there were super nice. The food was very good but our wait of an hour past our reservation time was not a good experience. This is a small restaurant and there were 2 LARGE parties there that night - a party of 18 & a party of 20. I think this was the cause of us being so delayed but when the parties are just sitting and chatting, have paid and have finished eating, while we stand at the bar was unfortunate. They did give us an order of calamari but it seemed like a small gesture when we had stood for an hour. 1 of our servers was very apologetic and tried to make us comfortable so we appreciated that.

    This was our first visit to Amelia's after having walked past it several times. We were very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent -- Spaghetti Alla Vongole, and the Ravioli special of the night -- mushroom, shrimp, cream sauce. The beat salad was also excellent. A very nice atmosphere for a couple enjoying a night out or a small group.

    This small Italian restaurant is trying to squeeze too many tables into a small area. The beet salad is to be avoided as it's tasteless. The chicken Parmigiana however was delicious. Wine list is totally out of wack price wise. Music played over the speakers was way too loud and not appropriate. Overall a decent restaurant that needs a few changes.

    Charming place which seats about 40. Very friendly, attentive service. We shared an entree which was served in 2 portions without our asking. Overall, the food was very good, but the calamari was a bit overcooked. We shared bolognaise which unlike most dishes I've had, featured shredded beef rather than ground meat. It was delicious. Also, excellent wine choices. would definitely go back.

    Really wanted to like this restaurant but….. Pros: What we did like was that we could eat outside . The service person was friendly and attentive in a good way. The restaurant acknowledged in a generous manner, a birthday treat, tiramisu. This was a kind and thoughtful gesture. Cons The food was just mediocre: The octopus appetizer: good flavor but the two thin pieces over cooked . Would have wanted one thicker piece and then it would have been a good dish. Slightly disappointing, The Meatballs should have been called bread balls, the sauce not memorable that came with. I make meatballs and while my bar is higher than most, the flavor was missing , the ratios of bread to meat way out of balance . The salad fair- good. Sadly, I can not recommend this restaurant or dining experience.

    Overcooked pasta is intolerable and unexpected for an Italian place. They didn't have the rigatoni, and they replaced with penne without letting us know...the best thing is that the waiter said "pasta is pasta is tastes the same..."
